Re: NT Oracle database with RAID-5 hardware controller - Is it good?

Hi !
The point is: using a RAID-5 Disk array, there is no means of distributing I/O. This may hav little impact on a small database with few users and small transactions.

Having a larger database with a considerable workload, you should be able to separate table data, index data, rollback segments and temporary tablespaces from another to achieve good performance.

For example, by simply modifying the physical layout of database files I achieved a 3-4 fold boost in database throughput (also refer to ORACLE documentation for tunuing I/O)

Regards
Frank
